Message-ID<q7BoS-1rn-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
If _Q_SLOW_VAL has been set, the vCPU state must have been vcpu_hashed.
The extra check at the end of __pv_queued_spin_unlock() is unnecessary
and so is removed.

locking/pvqspinlock: Kick the PV CPU unconditionally when _Q_SLOW_VAL

If _Q_SLOW_VAL has been set, the vCPU state must have been vcpu_hashed.
The extra check at the end of __pv_queued_spin_unlock() is unnecessary
and can be removed.
